Video Production Services
Chicago’s trusted video team since 2007 — delivering multi‑asset content from every shoot.
Video Parachute handles everything from scripting to post-production for organizations that need reliable execution without creative agency overhead. What sets us apart is our content maximization strategy: before we shoot, we develop a plan to repurpose your footage across multiple channels. One interview becomes a dozen social clips. One event produces months of marketing content.
Chicago’s Video Production Experts
Our team is a leading video producer for industry associations, healthcare organizations, continuing education providers, and B2B companies across Chicago and nationwide. We’re MBE-certified and known for transparent pricing, realistic timelines, and a production crew you’ll actually enjoy working with.
Corporate & Marketing Videos
Brand films, internal communications, product demos, and investor content. The videos organizations use to tell their story, align their teams, and drive business results. We focus on clear messaging and professional production quality that represents your brand at its best.
Event Video Production
Multi-camera event coverage that captures keynotes, panels, awards ceremonies, and trade show moments—then turns them into promotional content for next year’s event, social media highlights, and on-demand recordings.
Training & Educational Videos
Continuing education modules, onboarding programs, safety training, and compliance content. We create training videos that educate and engage—from medical associations and dental sleep programs to corporate L&D teams.
Interviews & Video Podcasts
Professional interview setups that make your subject matter experts, clients, and staff look their best. Whether it’s customer testimonials, thought leadership interviews, or a recurring video podcast series, we deliver authentic, polished content.
Get More From Every Video Project
The biggest problem with traditional video production? You spend thousands on a shoot, post one video, and never use the footage again.
Video Marketing Plans Maximize Your Video Content
Most production companies hand you a single finished video and call it done. We take a different approach. Before we ever pick up a camera, we develop a content strategy that maps how your footage will be repurposed across channels.
A single shoot day can produce:
- A polished hero video for your website or presentation
- 15-60 second highlight clips for social media
- Vertical videos optimized for YouTube shorts, Instagram, and TikTok
- Internal communications and training excerpts
- Soundbite graphics and quote cards
Our monthly video marketing plans take this even further—quarterly studio sessions produce a steady stream of content posted directly to your social channels. Plans start at $950/month.
Video Parachute is always a joy to work with. They were very involved at the initial stage of our project and stayed there every step of the way. They are efficient and always keep our goals and vision in mind, both on the shoots and in the edits. Our videos are always on time and better than we originally envisioned.
Our Video Production Process
We keep the process transparent and stress-free so you always know where your project stands.
Pre-Production
We start with a deep-dive consultation to understand your goals, audience, and brand. From there, we handle concept development, scripting, location scouting, and scheduling. We develop a content maximization plan before we ever pick up a camera—so you know exactly what you’re getting and how you’ll use it.
Production Day
Our crew handles all the logistics—multi-camera setups, professional lighting and audio, teleprompter support, and on-set direction. We keep the atmosphere relaxed and efficient, so your team feels comfortable on camera and your shoot stays on schedule. We typically film at your location, our Chicago studio, or a venue of your choice.
Post-Production & Delivery
Our editors craft your story with precision cutting, color grading, motion graphics, sound design, and captions. But we don’t just deliver one video—we produce multiple assets from your footage: hero videos, social clips, vertical cuts, and any other formats you need. Everything delivered on time and on budget.

FAQs about video production
How much does video production cost?
Video production costs vary based on the scope of your project—factors like shoot duration, number of locations, crew size, and post-production complexity all play a role. We provide transparent, itemized estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Most of our single-video projects range from $3,000 to $15,000, while ongoing monthly plans start at $950/month.
How long does it take to produce a video?
A typical project takes 4-6 weeks from kickoff to final delivery, including pre-production planning, filming, and editing. Simpler projects like interview edits can turn around in 1-2 weeks, while complex multi-day shoots or series may take 8-12 weeks. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout.
What should I prepare before a video shoot?
We handle most of the heavy lifting, but it helps to have a clear understanding of your goals, your target audience, and any key messages you want to communicate. If there are brand guidelines, logos, or existing materials we should reference, share those early. We’ll guide you through everything else during pre-production.
Do you provide scripting and creative direction?
Yes. Our pre-production process includes concept development, scripting, and creative direction. We develop a deep understanding of your brand, audience, and goals before writing a single word. For interview-style videos, we prepare questions and talking points so your on-camera subjects feel comfortable and prepared.
Can you shoot at our location?
Absolutely. We regularly film at corporate offices, event venues, manufacturing facilities, medical offices, and outdoor locations throughout Chicago and across the country. We bring all the equipment—cameras, lighting, audio, and teleprompter—so your location becomes a professional set. We also have access to studio space in Chicago for projects that require a controlled environment.
